The rear wheel fits the rear perfectly from this angle....im sorry if i missed it but how many inches did the KW drop your ride?

This fitment with the spacers is as aggressive as you can go without rubbing and rolling the rear fenders. Front can be more aggressive but I made it match the rear. To be honest, I don't know how much lower it is than stock. When I did the drop I measured from the edge of the wheel up to the fender. Can't remember what height that was either lol. Sorry! I posted a few more non-hdr photos in the photo thread. Just some random blackberry shots. I will be going to the meet on Saturday too if you are around drop by! We can have a few SE cars there!

For KW V1 you should be looking around $1500-1600 give or take a bit either way depending on what kind of deal you can swing (group buy etc). If you want more adjustability go V3 which is in the $2300-2400 range. There are some other options but these are the most common for XI cars.

Can you adjust it back to stock height on the same suspension?

I like the lowered look, but I honestly can't see being any lower than stock in the winter here. The bottom of my car drags in the ruts in my back lane as it is.

What do you guys think? I'm still asking for some more off because the sales lady had informed me that it had 200 km, then after recieving the quote it was listed at 950 km. Should I still be paying freight and PDI on a car with 950 km? Is it still considered brand new?

I feel like im getting close to owning this awesome car!

You will get a lot of opinions on this one...but personally-->

- I would never buy a car, especially a BMW 335i with that much power, that has been probably shitbanged for 950kms...I actually wouldn't even consider it. But that is me. I like Fresh. My baby had like 12 kms on it when I picked it up. Some people use those KMS as negotiating tact so if it works out great. At 950kms they either drove it in from somewhere, or it's a DEMO vehicle so your warranty would go to 80,950 but confirm with BMW Canada (not the dealer!). Can they get you another SE from somewhere for the same price and less then 20kms? When I purchase a vehicle, and I have purchased many, my deal always stipulates the vehicle must have less then 16kms.
-Floor mats? BMW ones suck , get weathertech
-500 bucks for wheellocks???? Garbage. The Anti-theft is probably the etching.
-Whats a 500 dollar finance fee? NEVER heard of this
-Documentation-doesn't matter, if they say it's free they have just padded it in the price somewhere else.

At the end of the day, if you're happy then buy the vehicle. If you have doubts walk away and get something that won't make you second guess yourself everytime you see it, drive it, sit in it.

Forgot to mention that is a very good price..just too many questions for me!

Looks like a good deal. I think the full msrp is 62k? That's like $11k off. The fees are somewhat standard. They vary slightly from dealer to dealer but pretty normal.

I don't think there are many SEs out there left unsold. I think they are all late 2011 builds, and when I was looking back in February, there were 3 manuals left in BMWs inventory system, which I believe covers the entire country. Not sure how many Steps were left cause MT was a requirement for me. Mine was shipped here from Calgary.

I have everything and my price was 61,800 an then I got 3k off. If the 1000km on the car isn't heavy usage, it is a great great deal they are offering you.

Youre really going to drive around all summer with rubber/plastic mats? 950 kms is nothing. Not enough to screw anything up. IF it did you will see problem sooner rather than later so warranty extension doesnt mean anything.

Must be an Alberta thing..never seen a car (cheap or luxury) without floor mats in the summer as well!

my car is great,
it's still exciting as hell, and the torque feels unlimited

still iffy on the wheels though, ...i know, im the only one lol

I also thought about swapping because every car now adays has these wheels (335is) and this car...I see them all the time. Only thing is these wheels are very strong for 19" wheels. Very resilient against bends/cracks.

Has anyone put different summer tires on, is there anyway to put thicker tires on (bigger wall) to close that gap. I know the run flats that came with it are a really low profile.

Really shouldn't do this. The speedo is programed for a certain rolling diameter. If you change tire size, you alter the rolling diameter and it messes things up. Your speedo will be off, mileage, etc. Also, might start to rub when your turning cause the tire may hit the inside wheel wells.

Suspension change is the only way to close the gap between the fender and the wheel.

Like I said above. 313's are pretty tough but I agree. Whenever running 19's you shreek whenever you hit a pot hole or a big bump, even train tracks lol. I slow right down...sometimes people get upset but they aren't replacing my wheels if they get bent lol.
